I've had people wonder about my state of mind too at times. It's one of those things you'd have to be "in to" in order to understand.

Yeah, they're 700hp 540's from my 38' Cigarette. I think most true gear heads appreciate custom engines from alot of different applications - boats, motorcycles, aviation, etc. I like custom all custom engines, and alot of things I've learned in rigging custom boat engines could be applied to automitive applications, albiet overkill. As someone who has owned a 1200hp street car and a 1400hp boat, that's probably obvious to some.

pef427 and redman76: Thanks guys! Everybody's customs here look really cool! That's the great thing about this hobby (addiction?) - the customizing and performance options are limitless (but I sure wish my pocketbook was too).

almost 500hp, small block. No nitrous but really easy with the accell if we ever want to throw on some racing slicks and drag it for kicks! The place that built the engine for us blew up 3 of um before getting it right
